Strengths vs. Weaknesses: Where Should You Focus Your Energy?

from The Art of Plenty · host The Art of Plenty

Amy here, and today we're tackling a question I've seriously wrestled with: should you pour your energy into building on your strengths, or should you dive into those areas that are not your strengths—your weaknesses, the "uncomfortable growth" zones? This came up for me recently when a team member left, making me rethink how I use my time. I'll share all the awesome benefits I've personally found from doing hard things (think mental toughness, perseverance, and even humility!). Connect with me:Follow me on Instagram Or on TikTokGet on the list: Course launches, bootcamps, webinars, live events, new episodes and free surprises!In this episode:01:25 Entrepreneurial Philosophies on Workload02:50 The "Bridging" Period and Time Utilization04:05 5 Benefits of "Uncomfortable Growth" (Doing Hard Things)12:28 When to Focus on Strengths18:56 3 Benefits of Leaning into Strengths21:39 How I'm Applying This Idea Now (Holding Both)23:32 Current Focus on Strengths in CareerRelevant Resources:If you found this content helpful, please share with a friend, contact me, leave a review, contact me on my website or on social media.
